Monero Soars to $797 ATH, $1,000 Would’ve Become $3.6M; Price Corrects 16% After Rally Now

Monero (XMR) hit a record high of $798 on Jan. 14, 2025 in crypto markets. According to CoinGecko data, the rally followed renewed interest in privacy tokens and departures at ZCash (ZEC).

XMR’s lowest price was about $0.22 in January 2015. A $1,000 buy then would have held about 4,630 coins, worth roughly $3.6 million at the peak.

XMR fell about 4.8% in the last 24 hours and more than 16% off its high (Ed. note: this is a significant pullback). The wider crypto market struggled after the late‑2025 crash, and profit‑taking could push prices lower.
